I’m flying over to England today to visit my mother and help with various things. I’ll be there until Monday – and then I’ll fly back here, arrive in the middle of the night, repack my bags, and jump on an early flight to Reno, as I mentioned earlier.
It’s the first time in many years that I’ve had to book a last-minute flight for personal travel. Orbitz and all of the airlines’ own sites were quoting fares well over $1,000, including fees and taxes. The best American Airlines rate I could find was $1,753; the cheapest United offering was over $3,000!!!.
However Hotwire.com quoted me $752.00 (including everything) from an “unnamed major carrier”, which turned out to be American Airlines! So here I go: SEA-ORD-LHR. And then I’ll have to find a WiFi hotspot before I can blog any further….
